Formation over Bognor Regis (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside the front door of my building, with my dog. The sky was clear and the stars were visible. I looked up and, I guess, to the south and saw three lights, larger than the visible stars. They were in a horizontal line. The middle of the three lights kept disappearing, as though it was hidden by the branches of the tree through which I could see the lights; however the branches were not moving as there was no wind. I kept changing position to make sure that the middle light was not being obscured by branches or clouds. I stayed outside, watching the lights, for about 10 minutes. The lights were still in formation, with the centre light disappearing and reappearing (intermittently, but not regularly), when I went back indoors.

What would the paper say?
UK sighting reports were handled by the MoD's UFO desk until 2009; later records answer to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, earlier files sit at the National Archives. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
